Question

According to Jem how does their society define who is black how does he answer Scout when she asks how to tell whether or not someone is black in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

Answer:

As per Jem in "To Kill a Mockingbird", he quotes Uncle Jack who had told him that as far as he can trace the Finches, they are not 'colored' or black.

When Scout asks her how to find out who is black, he further says that those people who came from Ethiopia in the Old Testament can be regarded as blacks.

To this Scout responds to him saying that even if they are the descendents of those people who came out from Ethiopia during the Old Testament, that was way back and should not matter now. Jem also agrees to her observation.
